Splash screen change on 1.16 upgrade (1 Viewer)

[Anthony Vaughan]

Okay. I think I have found the fix. There has been a change to the settings in C:\ProgramData\Team MediaPortal\MediaPortal\skin\DefaultWideHD\splashscreen.xml.

The old version contained:

<control>
<description>splashscreen text</description>
<type>label</type>
<id>2</id>
<posY>950</posY>
<textsize>30</textsize>
<textcolor>#87cefa</textcolor>
</control>

The new version contains:

<control>
<description>splashscreen text</description>
<type>label</type>
<id>2</id>
<posX>0</posX>
<posY>500</posY>
<width>1920</width>
<height>40</height>
<textsize>25</textsize>
<textcolor>#00bfff</textcolor>
<align>TopCenter</align>
</control>

Clearly, this s a bit of a problem for those of us that use the common configuration location, because, if we upgrade to the common location, we will lose all of our custom settings. Therefore, I rename the user > documents file so the upgrade operates locally and then rename it back for normal use. Up till now, there have been no significant changes to configuration files, but this time there have been changes in the skin. I guess I will need to rethink how I configure the skin in future upgrades.

Hope that helps.

I've tried the new version of MediaPortal.exe, but it made no difference.
As for resolution, this is happening on all screens, including HD televisions (46"). The photo I sent you is appearing on a screen with set to 1680 X 1010.

Hmmmm, i test on 1680x1050 with new MP.exe all Ok!

Yes. You're absolutely right. I tried again with the new MP.exe, together with the changes to splashscreen.xml I mentioned above, and everything, but one screen, worked.

The exception was one TV I use where the bottom half of the text was being cropped. I changed the height tag in splashscreen.xml from 40 to 60 and all of my screens now look good.

Thanks for the help.
